RGS Roles for Municipalities Strategy 1.2.6 a Provide dwelling unit and employment projections for Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Areas (FTDAs) District OCP Actions • 75-90% of residential growth is directed to four centres on a ‘Network of Centres’ (Target 1). This nodal growth pattern exceeds the RGS region-wide guideline (Table 2) of 68% of residential growth to occur within Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Areas. One of the District’s four growth centres (Lynn Valley) functions as the Municipal Town Centre, and two (Lower Lynn and Lower Capilano/Marine) are proposed as FTDAs. • Higher density residential and mixed use land use designations are applied to these centres, including Residential Level 6 (up to 2.5 FSR), Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 2 (up to 2.5 FSR), and Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 3 (up to 3.5 FSR). • Policies direct residential growth to these centres (Policies 1.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5) • RGS guidelines (Table 2) indicate 77% of employment growth region-wide might occur within Urban Centres (50%) and Frequent Transit Development Areas (27%). The figures for Urban Centres include the downtown Metro Core of Vancouver, Surrey Metro Centre and Regional Town Centres (such as Lonsdale in the City of North Vancouver). Given the propensity for employment to locate in such major regional centres, it may be unrealistic to anticipate 77% of employment growth in the District will occur within our Network of Centres. The RGS anticipates a lower percentage, 16%, of employment growth will occur in Municipal Town Centres. This may be a more realistic proportion for the District’s Municipal Town Centre of Lynn Valley. The OCP also designates Lower Lynn as a Town Centre (Policy 2.1.1). Lower Lynn is proposed as a FTDA (Policy 2.4.1). The District’s intent, as it develops over time, is for Lower Lynn (in addition to Lynn Valley) to achieve regional status as a Municpal Town Centre. Office and retail development are directed to these centres (Policies 2.1.3, 3.1.3, 3.1.4). Higher density Commercial Residential Mixed Use land use designations are applied to these centres, Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 2 (up to 2.5 FSR) and Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 3 (up to 3.5 FSR) to facilitate office and retail development. • Employment growth is also anticipated in the two designated growth Village Centres (Policy 2.2.2) which also have relatively high density office/retail development opportunities (Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 2, 2.5 FSR). Lower Capilano/Marine Village centre is proposed as a FTDA (Policy 2.4.1) and anchors the Marine Drive frequent transit corridor. This corridor, and the Light Industrial Commercial designated lands on Pemberton Avenue, are also anticipated to receive significant employment growth. Light Industrial Commercial lands on Pemberton Avenue are all situated between 100m and 800m of frequent transit on Marine Drive. Maplewood Village Centre also has significant employment growth potential through relatively high density Commercial Residential Mixed Use designations (Commercial Residential Mixed Use Level 2, up to 2.5 FSR) and Light Industrial Commercial areas both within and adjacent to the centre boundary. Light Industrial Commercial areas outside the centre boundary are immediately adjacent (across the street) and will benefit from the same transit improvements facilitated by residential and commercial growth within the centre. • In addition to policies and land use designations encouraging employment growth in centres and corridors, a strong emphasis in the OCP is placed on preserving and intensifying economic activity in the District’s Industrial and Light Industrial Commercial employment lands (Chapter 3), policies that are consistent with RGS Strategy 2.2. • Land use designations and policies are consistent with the direction of guidelines provided in the RGS. Detailed percentage distributions by location have not been prepared as part of the OCP and will be addressed through subsequent planning work (OCP implementation through detailed Centres Plans, and/or OCP formal review, and/or Economic Strategy). • The OCP provides for an estimated 2500 new units (5000 people) in Lynn Valley Town Centre; and approximately 3000 units in Lower Lynn and 2000 in Lower Capilano-Marine Drive corridor, the latter both proposed FTDAs 142 DNV Official Community Plan | Schedule C
